This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a replacement 265ci (4.3L) V8 equipped with a single carburetor and “ram’s horn” exhaust manifolds. The engine is paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual exhaust system with Cherry Bomb mufflers. Additional equipment includes a heater and defroster, floor-mounted shifter, and twin-cowl dashboard.

The fiberglass body has been refinished in red with Ivory coves and features a white convertible top, body-color removable hardtop, wrap-around windshield, chrome bumperettes, grilles, trim, and dual exhaust outlets exiting through the rear edges of the quarter panels. The car rides on 15-inch body-color steel wheels with chrome spinner-style hubcaps and reproduction Goodyear wide-whitewall tires. A full-size spare is retained in the trunk.

The cabin features red textured upholstery on the bucket seats and door panels, an aftermarket cassette radio, dash-mounted rearview mirror, clock, heater, and auxiliary gauges. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer with a center-mounted tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 76,000 miles, TMU, with 200 miles added by the seller. The tachometer was repaired under current ownership.
